37 Pumps, Valves & Liquid Handling Biocompatible valve technology for precision lab systems


Biotech Fluidics has developed a range of compact rotary valves designed to simplify liquid handling in life science instrumentation. Engineered with advanced polymeric sealing surfaces, these valves are fully biocompatible - making them ideal for use in analytical, diagnostic, and preparative systems where sample integrity is critical.


Replacing traditional banks of solenoid valves, a single Biotech Fluidics rotary valve can manage up to 24 channels, helping instrument manufacturers reduce both hardware complexity and costs. The design also minimises swept volume and effectively eliminates reagent carryover, supporting precise fluid control even in


demanding applications.


These valves offer further advantages for laboratories working with magnetic bead separation, segmented flow techniques, or systems sensitive to pulsatile fluid motion. Their compatibility with air gaps and smooth flow profiles enhances performance in both automated and manual workflows.


Designed for versatility, Biotech Fluidics valves are available in a wide range of standard and custom configurations and can operate under pressures ranging from vacuum to 2.76 bar. Each unit is subjected to rigorous durability testing to ensure consistent, long-term performance.


Digital control options include RS232, I2C, or UART interfaces, all suppored by smart closed-loop logic that allows real-time tracking of valve position - an essential feature for high-precision instruments.


For specialised applications, Biotech Fluidics offers collaborative design services. Using advanced CAD tools and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling, the team develops optimised valving systems tailored to unique instrument needs - always with a focus on minimising reagent use and maximising component lifespan.


With robust internal gearing and a focus on reliability, these biocompatible valves are built to deliver maintenance-free operation across years of daily use.

As laboratories strive to advance science, they must also confront an urgent reality: the environmental cost of research. From high energy use to the vast accumulation of single-use plastics, the scientific sector is increasingly challenged to reduce its footprint. Enter the EcoRack Premium Surface Pipette Tips, available from Alpha Laboratories, a product that seamlessly combines scientific precision with sustainability.


These pipette tips are engineered to the highest performance standards, featuring Premium Surface technology, an ultra-smooth, hydrophobic finish that prevents sample loss through adsorption. This not only reduces reagent waste but also enhances accuracy, especially with viscous or sensitive samples. Made from high-grade virgin medical polypropylene, the tips offer excellent transparency and optional filter versions for enhanced protection against contamination. Their universal compatibility ensures easy integration with most major single and multichannel pipettes, making them a practical and sustainable upgrade for any laboratory.


However, the standout feature of the EcoRack system is its eco-conscious design. In a field where single-use plastics dominate, the EcoRack offers a refreshing and responsible alternative: a 100% recyclable paper-based outer shell combined with a reusable rack base. This innovative packaging significantly reduces plastic waste by up to 60% compared to conventional racks, and contributes to a more circular, environmentally sound lab operation. The racks are also compact and stackable, reducing shipping emissions and saving valuable storage space.


For labs focused on reducing environmental impact without compromising research quality, the EcoRack Premium Surface Tips are a clear solution. The modular and refillable format supports sustainable practices while ensuring the sterility and precision that rigorous research demands.


Alpha Laboratories’ EcoRack Premium Surface Pipette Tips are more than just a high-performance consumable, they represent a bold step toward responsible, future-forward laboratory practices. More information online: ilmt.co/PL/7Y77 and ilmt.co/PL/qVj1

Eppendorf has officially introduced its newest generation of mechanical pipettes, the Research® 3 neo, now available worldwide. Designed for scientists who demand precision but also value comfort and flexibility, the Research 3 neo combines trusted Eppendorf performance with smart innovations that adapt to any workflow.


At the core of the Research 3 neo is adaptability. With a simple switch, users can choose between fast or fine volume setting speeds, making it just as effective for high-throughput tasks as it is for meticulous assays. The pipette also offers temporary adjustments for liquid type, tip geometry, reverse pipetting, or even altitude - delivering consistent accuracy without the need of recalibration. New ColorTag rings (sold separately) provide an easy way to label pipettes for personal or team use.


Eppendorf has reimagined ergonomics with a shorter pipetting button, lightweight balance, and an ergonomic finger hook to reduce strain during long pipetting sessions. Low tip attachment and ejection forces add to the comfort, ensuring effortless use without sacrificing speed.


True to Eppendorf’s reputation, the Research 3 neo exceeds ISO 8655 standards when paired with epT.I.P.S.® tips. A newly integrated volume lock prevents accidental changes, giving scientists added confidence in every experiment.


Beyond precision, the Research 3 neo also sets new standards for eco-conscious lab tools. Manufactured in an ISO 14001 certified facility powered entirely by renewable energy, the pipette carries the ACT® label for environmentally responsible design. It arrives in recycled, recyclable packaging and is compatible with epT.I.P.S.® BioBased tips, made from 100% biobased polypropylene via a mass-balance approach, reducing the carbon footprint of daily lab work.


Christiane Markau, Product Innovation Manager at Eppendorf SE, commented: “Our mission was to create a pipette that truly fits every user. The Research 3 neo delivers adaptability, comfort, and reliability - helping scientists focus less on their tools and more on their discoveries.”
